starting at a new school Hello, I'm a 16-year-old boy about to start high school on Tuesday, and I don't know anyone there. I'm currently overthinking and feeling a bit scared to start because I know I often stutter when I say my name, and if their first impression of me is that I stutter, I'm worried. I'm not sure if there are any exercises or advice anyone can offer before I start, or just something that can help?
